Unless his bouts are for the championship distance of 15 rounds. can be outpointed or flattened for the count, but he still will be champion under an amendment to the rules of the state athletic commission passed yester-j day. The amendment was designed and written into the boxing regulations of New York state for the especial benefit of the current heavyweight champion. Chairman John J. Phelan said. “There isn't an outstanding con- j .onder whom we can throw in 1 there with Mr. Baer,” Phelan said. ! “and so we can'l force Mr. Baer into a defense of his title. “Mr. Baer has proved that he wishes to keep in action and we are living to help him. In all other divisions. the champion is permitted to fight in non-title matches and there is no reason why a similar rule should not apply to the heavyweights. "Our commission still insists that the championship distance is 15 rounds, contenders must conrnue to fight that distance in eliminating each oiner for a championship fight, and if the champion fights any shorter distance, four, six. or even 12 rounds, his title will not be at stake.'*

of the opinion that Stiers and Graham aren’t used just to round out the team to five men. n n n THE city champions—Washington to you—the Jones Boys to the West Side—are in for two battles, and battle—an overworked word, by the way—is well-fitted to Friday night's contest. The Continentals will have to sport a performance superior even to their work in the city tourney to avoid use of the word ‘ rout” when they tackle Noblesvilles Menacing Millers. Saturday night, Peru will appear on the West Side. The Circus City Tigers have skidded considerably since taking the measure of Cathedral here early in the season. nun JOE DINEHART and his Cathedral Shamrocks meet an uncertain quantity at Southport Friday night, and are holding open house to an absolutely unknown quality when Martinsville comes to town Saturday. I’ll hand the mike to someone in the know T . Take it away, LOYAL CATHEDR ALITE! ‘‘Well, the Irish sure showed that Rrownshure five how to play basketball last Saturday night. The boys really were hfttln' the ole' hoop. Southport and Martinsville are next. Beware! There has been a lot of talk about the brother act* in the state. Weil. Cathedral has just as good, if not better, brother act as any state team. I refer to the Connor brothers. Bill and Bob. Between them, to date, the Connors have scored (53 field goals and 37 free throws for a total of 183 points. This is more than half of all the total points the Cathedral team has made this season! That sure is something for the old records. Keep an’ eye on 'em!” nun KNIGHTSTOWN plays at Broad Ripple Friday, and the Rockets travel to Brownsburg Saturday. Masonic Home of Franklin tackles Manual Saturday night. non Nice delicate schedule that, eh? I'm still thinking of that Richmond correspondent who cried: “Pity the poor writers who have only one team to string along with.” Save a drop of sympathy for poor ole’ Backboard, too, willya? nun The Capital City schedule-makers keep an eye to the fact that Indianapolis ouintets seldom get moving until the waning weeks of the season. So you find the majority of the tougher opponents concentrated at that end. nun RIMMING THE HOOP “TT lias been rumored,” whisA pers the Jeffersonville scribe, “that a team with a mediocre record may win the state title this season, and we're searching our head off to find this club. Could it be Everett Case’s Frankfurters of Frankfort?” . . . heh. heh . . . “mediocre” ... he thinks . . . now, who could have put out a spicy little rumor like that? . . . Can you imagine anybody in Jeffersonville “searching his head off” to find the state champion? . . . Gordon Graham, the Lafayette Lancer, comes out with a lengthy tirade against bands parading on the hardwood at the intermission between games after witnessing the Anderson tooters doing just that last Saturday . . . and Backboard Is tempted to agree with him on most points . , . Bob Schultz wisely confines the Shortridge bands excellent entertainment to :he upper tiers . . . and again there may be other reasons why the Blue musicians don’t march . . . the Greenfield scribe is the latest visiting commentator to go away disgruntled with the Washington “stage” floor .. . “One Greenfield player remarked that he wasn’t accustomed to the footlights,” sezze, “and found himself expecting rhe Washingtonians to break forth in song and go into a pony chorus drill most any time. It's a trick floor and spots the Continentals five points or more against any opponent” . . . yeah, but the Continentals beat Greenfield nine DOints, which still leaves ’em four to go . . . from Columbus a note which reads thusly: “Please tell those Redskins to keep on calling the Continentals ‘City Chumps,’ and the ‘Chumps’ will keep on paying ball games—not talking them” . . . there you are, a Jones Boy backer way down in ole’ Columbus . . . Coaches and several writers over the state, who got their first view of Jeffersonville at Anderson, are evincing disappointment at the touted speed of the Demons’ break . , . the answer is that the Red Devils did NOT break with the speed of which they are capable . . . Backboard has seen ’em flap faster wings than that ... so have the Jeffersonville fans . . . and likewise has Mr. Janis P. Francis, coach.

Illinois and Washington Sts. Mrs. McClure is a widely-known lady, with hundreds of friends throughout Bloomington and vicinity. Following is her statement: “For years I was a victim of stomach trouble,” said Mrs. McClure. “My stomach was always upset and I was simply FULL of gas after my meals and so tight and stuffy with gas in my chest that I could hardly BREATHE, and this gas even had its effect on my heart and the least little thing would exhaust me and take my breath away. Was also having bowel trouble, In fact, this had gone on so long it had gotten chronic with me and I was always taking physics. “I tried ALL KINDS of medicine, but Indo-Vin was the only medicine I ever found that turned out to be what I needed. My food never turns to gas and bloating inside of me any more and I can eat a hearty meal without suffering and I am never troubled with shortness of breath any more. It gave my bowels a great cleansing and they have gotten so they are regular each day and I never need a laxative or physic. This medicine is a ‘wonder’ and I gladly indorse it.” The Indo-Vin Man is now at Hook's Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining this new mixture of Medicines.—Advertisement.
